tory was brought to light recent
ly when the 62-year old chapel
bell at Bennett college wa'? taken
down during the razing of Carrie
Barge chapel^ preparatory ta the
erection of a new chapel at the
college. An inscription on the
huge bell reads as follows;

From Priendg in Troy, N. Y.
“Proclalp Liberty to the
captive* and the opening of
the prison to them that are
bound.” Isaiah LXI, 1.
The bell was a gift of Lyman
Bennett, of troy, New York, the
man who- raised the first $10,
000 for founding fo Bennett
College in 1873 gave his
life while dolhg it. Following' a
visit to Greensboro, Mr. Bennett
met prominent citizens of the
the city, including Judge Martin
Douglas and Dr. D. W. C. Ben-
bow. Impressed wTth the recep
tion given the Negro college by
local people, Lyman Bennett re
turned to Troy and solicited
money for the purchase of the
bell, made hy~a prominent foun
dry which is still oiverating .o-
day. It is said he contracted
pneumonia while fjbtaining the
money and died.
President. David D Jones of
Bennett college has said a mO’d-
ern clock wHT probably be in
stalled in the new chapel, con
tracts for which were set only
recently. However, the aged bell
will stil bo used in some way on
the campus. Many persons in
that section of Greensboro where
the college is located have re
